Setup will keep the tar.gz files that it downloaded from the internet.
It keeps these in the "Local Package Directory", which is where you
ran setup.exe (unless you changed it from the default).  Basically you
can delete the 'contrib' and 'latest' subdirectories and all their
contents.

I'll add something about this to the FAQ.
